Although the carriage road was less pedestrianized during the war, it was not completely idle.

Around the same time, an important event took place on the road, and that was the development of the Carolina interior.

At first, most of the people who moved out of Philadelphia marched to southwestern Virginia and stopped moving.

Because the local valley has abundant water, mild climate, and good soil, there is no need for people to continue south.

But the carrying capacity of the valley is also limited, and over time, the population of the valley behind the Blue Ridge has also reached capacity.

However, new immigrants continued to arrive in Philadelphia and continue south along the Great Carriage Road, and the Appalachian Valley could no longer accommodate more people.

As a result, these later immigrants had to continue deeper into the south.

Further south is the unexplored Carolina interior.

At that time, most of the settlements in North and South Carolina were along the coast, and the inland areas had towns only on the banks of the great rivers.

The vast rest of the interior is almost indesolate.

In the 1750s, a Danish descendant named Mogan Bryant moved south from Pennsylvania with his family.

Once in southwestern Virginia, they found that there was no room left for their family in the area.

So he and his family continued on their way through the Shenandoah Valley to the south, passing a peak called "Pilot Mountain" to the Piedmontese Hills of North Carolina.

Bryant settled in the Piedmontese hills and established the "Bryant Stronghold" that bears his name.

Bryant was also a Quaker, so after the Seven Years' War, his stronghold also attracted many latecomers.

In addition to the Quakers, there were many followers of the Moravian Brethren and the Amish Church.

The Moravian Brethren originated in Bohemia (Czech) in Europe, where they openly rebelled against the Holy See before Martin Luther's Reformation began. Their philosophy is that everyone should live equally and freely, without being bound by rulers.

Later, Moravian believers, persecuted by both the Roman church and the secular monarchs, traveled across Europe, one of which moved to the Rhine Valley and then to North America with the Germans.

The Amish Church, which originated in Switzerland and moved to Pennsylvania in the early 18th century, is a conservative denomination that advocates simplicity.

The unexplored Carolina interior is an ideal paradise for both sects.

For the Moravian Brethren, a new free, equal, and communal society could be built in a deserted land, without government administration, taxes, or religious constraints.

For the Amish Church, this land away from the hustle and bustle of the city is a place to retreat from the simplicity and naturalness of life.

As a result, the followers of these two sects took root here.

They thrived around the Bryant stronghold, and within two generations, villages were established in the interior of the Carolina, stretching all the way to the Savannah River, on the border of Georgia.

Bryant's initial location in the Piedmont Hills has since grown into North Carolina's busiest district, centered on the line of Charlotte, Sallsbury and Winston-Salem.

The section of the road that Bryant explored in the Shenandoah Valley is also known as the "Carolina Way."

Later, more Moravian believers followed.

The "Pilot Mountain", which can be seen dozens of kilometers away on the way, has become a spiritual symbol for Moravian believers in the ugly country.

When they made their way south along the carriage road and saw this peculiarly shaped mountain, they knew that North Carolina was their home in front of them.

The interior of the Carolina grew, and the Conistoga carriages from the north drove onto the road, connecting the Carolina interior that had been hidden for many years with developed areas such as Virginia and Pennsylvania, so this section of the road was also classified as part of the Great Carriage Road.

Driven by the Great Carriage Road, the inland areas of the southern colonies have developed considerably. But that's not all the historical exploits of the Great Carriage Road. During the War of Independence, the Carriage Road became one of the most important supply lines for the Continental Army of the colony, ensuring the final victory of the colony to a large extent.

Due to the economic differences between the North and the South, several colonies in the South fought hard during the War of Independence.

Britain had sea supremacy that the colonies did not have, and coastal towns throughout the south were blockaded by British troops.

Although France was pinning down the British navy, the south, which was dominated by plantations, was still quite logistically tight.

The army of the colony of North Carolina, in particular, has always been the target of a major siege by the British army.

And for eight years, it was this wagon road that supported North Carolina in its struggle:

Supplies and soldiers could use this road to provide direct access to the Carolina hinterland, far from the coastline blockaded by the British, to support the front line in the south.

The British, of course, also know the importance of this road.

In 1780, the Marquis de Cornwallis, the deputy commander-in-chief of the British army, led a team to Charlotte, with the aim of cutting off the carriage road and forcing the Southern Continental Army to surrender.

At that time, the Southern Continental Army, under the advance of Cornwallis, had suffered several defeats in a row, and its fate hung by a thread.

At this time, Washington at the Continental Congress, against all odds, sent Nasenel Green, a rookie on the battlefield, to the Southern Front.

After arriving in North Carolina, Green led the Continental Army, retreated inland, and attacked Cornwallis with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west along the Great Carriage Road, leaving the British army in Cornwallis exhausted and draining the physical strength and morale of the British army.

The following year, the two armies fought a decisive battle in the small town of Guildford. Although Cornwallis's British army won nominally, their own attrition greatly exceeded expectations, and they had to give up their entanglement with Green, lead their troops out of the battlefield, and move north to Yorktown, Virginia.

Green succeeded in keeping the carriage road open and the strength of the Southern Army, laying the foundation for the victory that followed.

Guilford was later renamed Greensburg to commemorate Green's contributions.

This battle, which centered on the Great Carriage Road, was one of the turning points of the Southern Front during the War of Independence.

From then on, the superiority of the British army in the southern battlefield was gradually lost, and the Continental Army seized the initiative.

After Cornwallis left, the Continental Army launched a counterattack, recovering the towns in the south that had been occupied by the British.

By the eve of the decisive Battle of Yorktown, which took place a few months later, the British held only two cities in the south, Charleston and Savannah, and the rest of the strongholds had been cleared by the Continental Army.

After the founding of the country, the road of the carriage continued to serve the work of dogs and horses.

In the 1840s, the section of the road in Virginia was paved with cement, becoming one of the first cement avenues in the United States, known as the Valley Expressway.

However, as the rail and road systems developed, the Great Carriage Road, along with the Conestoga carriage that was once the pride of those who lived along it, faded into obscurity.

But the contribution of this road is still talked about today.

Without this road, the development of the southern interior of the country would have lagged for many years, the unique cultural landscape and country music of the southern Appalachian Mountains would not have been produced, and the Southern Continental Army in the Revolutionary War might have faced even greater difficulties.

Because of its various contributions to the south of the ugly country, this road is known as the mother road of the south of the ugly country.

It is precisely with this glorious road full of history that there is an ugly country today.

Therefore, road construction is always the right way to go.

But whether Highway 1 can be successfully settled near Atlantic City depends on the planning of Li Yaoyang and others.

This is a matter of collective interest in Atlantic City, and everyone must put aside their contradictions and prejudices and work together to be able to nibble on this big piece of the pie.

So, the conference, which was later known as the 'Foundation of Atlantic City', was held in a small conference room at the Pacific Hotel.

The meeting was attended by some of the best people in Atlantic City, with more than 20 people in total, and the host was Kiel Eland.

For the sake of the big cake, he rushed back from Trenton to host the meeting, which would be his last dance in Atlantic City.

When the project lands, Atlantic City will also be completely renamed.

It is precisely because of this tacit understanding that Li Yaoyang is willing to cooperate with him in this time, otherwise he may not have any moths.

"Gentlemen, this time we have brought you together for the purpose of establishing Highway 1 in Atlantic City, and the success of Highway 1 depends on your sincere cooperation."

Moffett laughed and said:

"It's been many years, and it's the first time we've gathered like this, if the profits are not enough, I'm sorry for this battle."

"I agree with this, let's divide the account first, and then talk about the rest." Marco looked greedy and eager to swallow it alone.

Kiel's face was gloomy:

"What? Why don't you fight first? Who's winning is who's? ”

Li Yaoyang smiled and said:

"A group of old arms and legs, and then beat themselves into the soil, let's rest, this time we will distribute according to work, whoever contributes more earns more, don't be useless, otherwise don't blame me for being polite."

The threat of this red fruit fruit suddenly took effect, and the audience was silent, and Marco and the others were also very face-saving and did not say a word.

Kiel continued:

"The total length of the road section we can strive for is more than 120 kilometers, and the total project starts at 120 million dollars according to the cost of 1 million dollars per kilometer, so you can calculate how much benefit there is!"

Moffett is engaged in architecture, and he calculates quickly:

"Start at least 50 million!"

Listen, at least, if they are ruthless, 60 million will not be a problem!

Keele reminds:

"We still have to ensure the quality."

Muffett shrugged his shoulders:

"This is the number I give on the basis of quality assurance, if the quality is not guaranteed, at least 80 million starts."

Astronomical!

The 50 million in this era is about to approach the 1 billion US dollars in later generations, which is very valuable.

Of course, if you score more than 20 people equally, it doesn't cost much.

But how can it be average, Keir and Li Yaoyang will definitely take the biggest head, and the other committee members will also eat more and take more, and the remaining fraction will be shared by everyone, which is the most reasonable distribution.

Li Yaoyang estimated that he could get 10 million if he said less, and if he said more, 1500, 2000, it was also possible!

Big CakeBig Cake, Must Be Won!

He followed suit:

"I know that there are many difficulties in this project, but I believe that as long as everyone works together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and make a fortune together!"

Raise your glasses:

"Get rich together!"

A smile appeared on everyone's face, and then they discussed the specific measures, who was responsible for what work, and there was a clear division of labor.

Lai and Muffet were mainly responsible for the construction part, with the PR side handed over to Kiel Eland, while Marko was responsible for coordinating the land ownership issues and Pelop was responsible for logistics.

Everyone is not idle, and in order to earn money, it is necessary to sweat.

In fact, the highway culture of the ugly country is very interesting, and it may also be related to the hegemony of the ugly country, which has led to many people being brainwashed by the ugly culture.

For example, Route 66 can be said to be a cultural symbol of the ugly country. Not only are there beautiful scenery along the way, but there is also a long history.

Highway 66 runs from Chicago, the third largest city in the east, to Los Angeles, the second largest city in the west, passing through eight states, with a total length of about 3,940 kilometers, passing through the Great Lakes region, the Mississippi River, the Ozark Mountains, the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, the Mojave Desert and other terrain areas, until reaching the sunny town of Santa Monica (Los Angeles) on the west coast.

Originally, it was just an ordinary member of the numbered highway system of the Ugly Country, but in the years after its construction, several important historical events took place in the local area, and this legendary highway was achieved.

This road, which is now world-famous, was originally built under the influence of an obscure little man.

The little man, Cyrus Avery, was an insurance salesman in Oklahoma City who went to the oil capital of Tulsa in the 1910s to set up an Avery Oil Company.

At this time, the ugly country had just entered the era of progress, and the managers changed the previous corruption and began to pay more attention to public opinion;

At the same time, Ford was also in the era of the gradual popularization of automobiles, and Ford's assembly line production successfully reduced the cost of automobiles, making them affordable for the vast middle class.

As a result, the "Good Roads Movement" is gaining momentum in the country, with people everywhere calling on the government to repair dilapidated roads and build a denser road network to make it easier for people to get around by car.

Avery was also involved in the Good Road movement and soon became a leader of the Good Road movement in the Tulsa area.

Unlike many regional participants who simply shout slogans, Afri is more pragmatic and personally participates in the road construction committees of several different roads.

Because of his popularity and excellent work on the committee, Tulsa's county invited him to serve as the county governor.

During his tenure as county commissioner, he did something that was applauded by everyone in Tulsa: rebuilding the 11th Street Bridge.
